Petersen rocks up close: Macro Monday

Here is a close up view of some Petersen rocks. I took this picture at Petersen Rock Garden and Museum in Redmond, Oregon. This unique roadside attraction has small-scale buildings and landscaping covered with local rocks.

To learn more about this attraction, see my previous post. It includes LOTS of photos!
